Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

• Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is global agreement based upon development as a human right

• SDGs is a complex system of many interrelated goals and targets, with potential spillovers and trade-offs

• SDG system based on economic, social, and environmental data from the world.

PAKISTAN’s Approach

Vision 2025

imbeds the essence of

the original

“Pakistan Dream”,

rests of

SEVEN PILLARS

that will reflect our national priorities

for the next 11 years and is supported by

FIVE core ENABLERS.

PAKISTAN’s Approach

• Pakistan was the first country to adopt SDGs 2030 agenda through a unanimous resolution of Parliament

• Pakistan has prioritized the SDGs which will enable to join the league of upper middle class countries by 2030.

• National/ Provincial consultation for defining way forward for SDGs

• The process emphasized the – categorization of SDGs

– Improved data collection

– Enforcement of monitoring mechanism

Vision 2025 & SDGs

• Vision 2025 seeks to bring human resource development to the top of the national agenda.

• Pakistan has to make a leap forward in areas like education, health and social development to catch up with other emerging economies.

• Vision 2025 presents a comprehensive approach to addressing human and social development gaps with an emphasis on developing human and social capital to take full advantage of Pakistan’s youth bulge.

• Vision also recognizes the rising power of a socially aware population and seeks to move towards a knowledge-based society with harmony, ethics and values.

• The Seven pillars of Vision 2025 are fully aligned with SDGs

PAKISTAN 2025 & SDGS

MDGs lessons learnt and SDGs:

• MDGs were officially acknowledged in 2004 and localization started in 2010

• Development framework remained alien to MDGs

• Timely and pro-active reaction on SDGs by GoP

• Economic policies and development framework, Vision 2025 is aligned to SDGs framework

• SDGs demands disaggregation of data by sex, age and other salient socio-economic characteristics, including income/wealth, location, class, ethnicity, age, disability status

• Decentralized Governance Structure in Pakistan- where provinces are empowered to plan and executive- implementation of SDGs, especially those related to social sectors, fall under the preview of sub-nationals.

• This calls for localization and ownership of SDGs at the lowest administrative tier as key to SDGs achievement.

Why Localize The 2030 Agenda Into National And Sub- National Planning & Budgeting

Preparedness on SDGs

• SDGs became part of PSDP 2015-16 reflecting

a pro-active approach

• SDG Support Units established in all 4 provinces

• Appointment of focal persons by concerned

Ministries, and provincial and special areas’

governments

• National Framework on SDGs approved by the

NEC on March 07 2018.

….Key Milestones Achieved So Far

• Data Gap Analysis (Prepared Report)

– Availability of Data for baseline

– Review of Questionnaire of PDHS, PSLM and MICS

– Lead ministry and reporting agency involvement defined

– Identification of stakeholders

• Budget 2017-18 mapping with SDGs and overall social sector

• PSDP mapping with SDGs in the last four years

• Stocktaking with different departments of Ministry of Planning

• The 5-year national plan (2018-23) will be developed on SDGs Framework

GOALS & TARGETS

National SDGs Framework Methodology

Identification of Critical Pathways

(CPWs) and mapping of SDG targets

Identification of 7 core criteria

Measurement of relative

weights

Give score to

each target

Multiply Score with

their respective

weight

Identify High,

Medium High,

Medium Low and

Low

Map each target in

their goals and

Rank it

A multi-layered nested methodology is adopted to develop National SDGs Framework.

Framework Critical Pathways

1

Better governance and improved security

2

Improved access to quality social and municipal services

3

Increase investment, employment and productivity in key sectors and improve economic growth

4

Improved environmental stewardship and climate action

5

Eradicate Poverty, Reduce Inequalities and improve social cohesion (Cross

cutting)

Methodology

• The analysis is based on Multiple-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) that explicitly evaluates multiple conflicting criteria in decision-making

• MCDA is concerned with structuring and solving decision and planning problems involving multiple criteria. Typically, there does not exist a unique optimal solution for such problems and it is necessary to use decision-maker's preferences to differentiate between solutions.

Width: How many People are affected (Number)

Depth: How Badly they are Affected (Severity)

Multiplier: How many other Targets it contributes to: (Spillovers)

Urgency: Status of Target (Panic)

Lower Resource: Value for money

Less Structural Change: Institutional change required

Across All Regions: For all provinces

Weighting Matrix

• The choice of these seven criteria are based on a priori knowledge, data gap analysis and core values of SDGs No one left behind, Furthest behind first and Sustainability ,Five Ps of SDGs

People

Peace,

Prosperity

Planet

Partnership

• The 17 Sustainable Development Goals are mapped to rank seven criteria

– For example, the Width is compared with Depth for all 17 Goals by giving (0,1) value to each. If Width is greater than Depth, the value will be 1 otherwise 0. This applies to all seven criteria.

• The weights of each criteria is aggregated after assigning values by goals.

• The aggregate values of each criteria is normalized to get the ranking.

Normalized Weights of Each Criteria

NORMALIZED

RELATIVE WEIGHT CRITERIA RANK

Width 0.118 5

Depth 0.146 4

Multiplier 0.244 1

Urgency 0.174 3

Low Resources Required 0.076 6

Less Structural Change 0.042 7

Relevance across regions 0.202 2

Prioritisation by Target

Each target is assigned score ranging from 0 to 10 for each criterion

Score is then multiplied with the normalized weights of each criterion

• High (If Target Score is >=8)

• Medium-High (If Target Score is >= 6 and < 8)

• Medium-Low (If Target Score is >= 4 and < 6)

• Low (If Target Score is < 4)

Weighted score obtained is then ranked according to four priority categories

Relative Priority of SDGs for Pakistan

The weighted targets with High, Medium High, Medium Low and Low Rank were mapped for all 17 Goals of SDGs.

• Category-I: High Rank

• Category-II: Medium High Rank

• Category-III: Medium Low

Category-I

Goals with Highest no of “ High weighted Score targets are grouped as Category-1.

These Goals require immediate policy interventions as desirable outcome can be achieved in short run.

• Food Security through Sustainable agriculture (SDG-2)

• Improved Nutrition and Healthy Life.(SDG-2)

• Improved Health Facilities' (SDG-3)

• Equitable quality education. (SDG-4)

• Improved Drinking Water and Hygiene Facilities. (SDG-6)

• Responsive institutions that ensure peace and security. (SDG-16)

• Access to affordable, reliable, clean and Sustainable Energy for all. (SDG-7)

Category-II

Goals with medium-high priority in Category-II.

These goals require relatively longer timeframes and consistent policy support.

• Accelerating the rate of Poverty reduction through coordinated interventions.(SDG-1)

• Empowerment of Women and Girls through institutional Strengthening to reduce all forms of discrimination. (SDG-5)

• Building resilient infrastructure and smart cities not only to the main urban centers but also in rural areas. (SDG-11)

Category-III

All remaining goals are fall under Category-III.

These goals require relatively longer timeframes and consistent policy support.

• Mitigating the impact of Climate Change. (SDG-13)

• Conservations and sustainable use of marine resources.(SDG-14)

Obstacle & Constraints

• Increasing Population and pressure on resources affecting economic growth of country.

• Availability of data to monitor Progress. Data for at least ¼ indicators was not available.

• Capacity of Provincial Governments for implementation this multifaceted plan is varied

• Grass root level problem is absence of administrative and financial powers of district government.

• Creation of awareness regarding SDGs.
